After more than 24 inches of snow landed in parts of Colorado overnight, more big snow is on the way to Colorado.
While the deepest totals of the Tuesday night storm landed in the area of Aspen and Salida, parts of the Front Range also got snow in the range of eight to 12 inches, which impacted traffic along I-25 and I-70 east of Denver . With another wave of snow that’s set to stretch from Wednesday through Friday morning, the central mountains and Western Slope should be mostly missed, but big totals could stack up along the I-25 corridor, in the Eastern Plains, and in southern Colorado.
It’s important to note that the National Weather Service produces three maps related to how much snow might fall when there’s an incoming storm – an ‘expected snowfall’ map (80% chance), a ‘high-end snowfall’ map (10% chance), and a ‘low-end snowfall’ map (10% chance).
Let’s start with the most likely scenario for snowfall moving into the state from Wednesday to Friday morning – the ‘expected snowfall’ map.
